Scott BamberGuestSaul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakelah facing Jeshimon.
But David stayed in the wilderness.
When he saw that Saul had followed him there, he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived.
Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped.
He saw where Saul and Abner, son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down.
Saul was lying inside the camp with the army camped around him.
And there was Saul lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head.
Now let me pin him to the ground and with one thrust of the spear, I won't strike him twice.
Or his time will come and he will die.
Or he will go into battle and perish.
Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head and let's go.
So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head and they left.
No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up.
Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away.
There was a wide space between them.
